St. Paul Lutheran Church, Matteson, Illinois & Pastor Troester

This is the Christian life, but it is only powered by the Grace of God, not by our ability, it too, is a gift of God!

God's plan for all people is to save all by the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ.  Though some will reject that gift, it does not changes God's mind or plan--all can be saved through Christ.

The message of the Bible is not man's wisdom, but God's Wisdom, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Paul's passion that his fellow Jews would be saved by believing in Jesus Christ.

This is a letter to a group of Christian whom Paul helped to gather as a church in the city of Corinth.  Paul is no longer there in person, but writes to them to teach, admonish and guide them in Christian faith and living.

Paul closes his letter (epistle) with greetings, exhortations and praise of God.

Christian instruction on the way to live a servants life, modeled after Jesus Christ.

Let God be the Creator and we His creation, blessed, loved, forgiven by Him, and trusting His will in everything!

Jesus came to be condemned in our place, so that now, by faith, worked in us by the Holy Spirit, we have peace with God in everything and forever.

We thank God that He shows us the seriousness of sin, and provides a way to life through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
